Definitely better than the typical GoPro where the camera stays level with the windshield and the horizon goes back and forth enough to make some people seasick watching it.

Re: Low level in Norway

Looks like a US Navy Harrier? There is an advanced (as in "further ahead", not technically advanced) air force base not too far away in Evenes, but I think the US Navy still uses the old main air force base in Bodø, where I used to work at the aviation museum. It was supposed to be shut down and relocated. But the world being as it is, it will probably stay operational for the forseable future.

I have been sailing in this area a bit, and a couple of times I think I have been used for targe practice by RNoAF F-16. Unless they just kind of swoop down on boats and then turn and burn for laughs. Nothing crazy close, but obvious enough that it was not random.

I actually prefer that, more like what I would see with my own two eyes.

Re: Low level in Norway

Wow! It sure takes a lot of bank rotation to get that thing to turn.

What's the squiggly thing on the canopy?

Detonation cord that cracks the canopy open during an ejection sequence.
